Related Scriptures
In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was like God in everything. Christ was equal with God. But Christ did not think that being equal with God was something that he must keep. He gave up his place with God and agreed to be like a servant. He was born to be a man and became like a servant. And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God. He obeyed even when that caused him to die. And he died on a cross. Christ obeyed God, so God raised Christ to the most important place. God made the name of Christ greater than every other name. God did this because he wants every person to bow for the name of Jesus. Every person in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth will bow. Every person will confess (say), “Jesus Christ is Lord (Master).” When they say this, it will bring glory to God the Father.
— Philippians 2:5-11
The Son of Man will come again with his Father’s glory and with his angels. At that time, the Son of Man will reward each person for the things he has done.
— Matthew 16:27
